Hey guys! So here's chapter four, hope you're all enjoying the series so far!
Fari30 - You're very welcome! Although I personally don't look for Embry stories it was very good and I look forward to more chapters! And yes, haha, I think that's right! Yes, Our Paul is a bit jelly :P I think he's coming round to the fact that he can't fight the imprint and now he has to deal with the very stubborn Sully! I'm glad you liked her reason for dying her hair; I thought it would be something different and a bit unique.
SugarishFreak - You're very welcome for the review! Yea, Paul really isn't happy with whole Imprinting thing but he's starting to come to terms with it. I think now he just needs help with Sully, and he won't be getting that from Embry either, who also isn't happy with all this! I'm glad you like Sully, and her back story too! I'd say it's sad, but it's really her current situation which isn't too happy but hopefully it's our lovely wolves that can help her!
There is a bit of swearing in this chapter, just a heads up!
Sully walked back to Sam's in an easy silence with Paul. It was odd, less then an hour ago she thought he was an arrogant arse, and now...well..he was less arrogant. He had listened to her when she spoke about her mum and seemed interested; he had asked about her; who she was behind the grieving little girl who had just lost her mum. Sully kept glancing at Paul, who she saw smirk after her third glance. Guess it wasn't such a sneaky glance after all. She rolled her eyes at the large boy who seemed to enjoy the fact that she kept looking over at him. Scratch that, he IS arrogant. Screw Paul Lahote!
Sully took off running away from Paul as they came closer to the house. The front door opened as her foot came in contact with the porch and she ran past the boy at the door who she recognised as Jared from her party. the boy who had found her name funny. She knew that one of them would ask again, and she dreaded the day. Only Embry and his mum knew her name, she had strictly prohibited that no one else knew her name. She was Sully to any and every one! She ran to the island where Sam and Emily was, and Sam grinned at her handing her a bottle of water from the fridge which she took, thanking him.
"I'd offer you some soda, but the guys finished all those off."
"It's okay Sam."
Sully found it easy to speak to Sam and Emily, within the 'pack' which Sully guessed was the gangs name, they seemed to hold the most authority. Well Sam did, Sam seemed to be the leader as far as she could tell; as for Emily, Sully guessed that Emily was well respected not only because she was Sam's girlfriend but also because they all thought well of Emily. Who couldn't? Emily was a kind and gentle soul and always seemed to know what to say or when to leave things alone. She clearly had a spot for all the guys and thought of them as her family. Sully pushed herself up onto the island, sitting on the bench after Sam had refused to let her help he and Emily cook for them all; but he allowed her to seat by them and talk to them, it was something he did not just for Sully but also Emily.
Side Note : I did other 2500 words for this and then when I hit save, Fanfiction ballsed up. I will try to remember what I put but this may end up shorter then it was. So I'm sorry if it does!
"So what do you do?"
"Me?" Sam asked, "I own the garage in town, Em works at the Nursery."
"Nice, I'd be pretty much disastrous at either of those." Sully laughed, gaining a grin from Sam. "Before Mum died, I was filling in college applications."
"You're a bit young for that aren't you?"
"It's different in England Sam," Emily giggled. "They leave school when they're sixteen, right Sully?"
"Yea. So next step for me was college or work or something. Mum had asked me to go to college, so I was looking...I just had no clue what to do. Did you?"
"I always knew I wanted to work with children, they're lovely little souls."
"I was good with cars and needed something to do. I got an apprenticeship at the garage and now I own it." Sam grinned.
Sully jumped slightly as someone jumped on to the bench next to her.
"Hey, I' sorry about the whole name thing." Jared said, "But you can't deny it's a strange name!"
"Jared!" Emily scolded.
"It's alright." Sully laughed, "I guess you got me there, but I'm still not going to tell you my name!"
"I will find out." He grinned at her, Jared could almost feel a hole being burnt into his back from the probable glare he was getting off Paul. "I am sorry though, Kimmy told me off after."
"Kimmy?"
"Cool it, Paul."
Sam had walked away from Sully, Emily and Jared when the lad had sat on the counter. He had heard them outside, thinking their conversation had been totally private. They should know better by now. Sam had heard Jared teasing Paul about the imprint. And even now as Sam sat down with Paul, who was shaking slightly, he could tell that Paul was caught in between going over there and tearing Jared away from Sully and staying sat here on the couch; and that was not because he wanted things to look normal. Paul was still fighting the imprint, and Sam feared it could end in bad results.
"He's doing this on purpose Sam."
"I know he is, but you're going to have to sit here and let it happen."
"I can't.." Paul said through gritted teeth, "I don't know how much longer I'll stay here. I wanna pull the fucker away from her, she's mine."
Seth and Quil turned slightly, it was rare to see Paul so possessive over a person, he had practically growled that she was his. Sam and Quil shared a look, knowing that this frustration was coming from his denial, but no matter how much they told him, he wouldn't listen. Paul didn't know how to act. He was womanizer, and he was happily admit it; this however was totally different. When Sam had dismissed Paul last night, instead of going straight home he had went to Zara's. Zara was a girl he had went through school with and they had numerous flings together, he had went to Zara to take it all on in sex. And yet, he had barely been able to look at her or be around her, he had felt guilty. She didn't look like Sully and she didn't smell like Sully, and Paul had felt guilty for going to Zara. And he hated it, but he had left her high and dry, which she wasn't happy about and he had went home and had a few more beers.
"You've got to give her time Paul..."
"Time to what? Hate me a little more?" Paul said snidely. "She hates me enough already, didn't you see how she ran back? She can't stand to be near me, but who gives a shit? If she doesn't want to be near me, it's up to her! She's just some chick, a bloody pale face!"
"Watch it Paul." Seth quietly said, Seth didn't know much about Sully nor did he know what imprinting felt like. He just had to go off what his brothers had told him, he knew that fighting the imprint seemed to make it stronger, and harder. Seth just couldn't understand why Paul was so angry about it being Sully. She seemed like a nice enough girl, she'd been very friendly at the party and today. Whilst Seth understood that some of tribe felt that the pale faces were outsiders, it was different for Sully now. She was one of them now, and if anything Embry was very found of her and whilst it took a lot to insult Sully, Embry would take the offence for her; as he was doing now. Shaking in his chair and glaring at the T.V. Paul was walking on very thin ice now and if they wanted their secret to stay that way for just a bit longer, Paul would have to shut up and Embry would have to calm down.
Seth had often wondered when he was going to imprint, if ever, like his brothers. An imprint was the reason you were here, it hurt to be too far away from them, it was the imprint that held you to this earth, but Seth had come to terms that he might never imprint, and if anything his mother and sister were his reasons for being here. Yes, Leah was older and stronger, but Seth was still protective of her. Sue and Leah Clearwater were his reasons for being here and fighting against the vampires, and he was happy enough to go on like that. He sometimes worried for his brothers that had imprinted or the girls they had imprinted on, he was glad to think of it now, sitting quietly at Sam's. He wasn't sure he wanted his brothers to know about these thoughts, knowing that whilst he thought the imprint was kind of a good thing...he could also see Paul's point. It was almost like you were being forced to love someone, it was up to you how...kind of...all you knew was you had to be there for them but it could ruin lives. Seth had seen what Sam's imprint on Emily had done to Leah, she had been heart broken, and she let them all know just how much it sucked whenever they phased. He had never seen an imprint change a brother in the worst way, but he knew Paul was getting angrier and angrier. Yea, Paul was an angry person, but someone so much as looked at Sully and he was ready to rip their heads off, on top of that, Embry looked like he could Paul for imprinting on Sully. Seth just hoped this wasn't going to destroy the group .
"Dinner's ready."
The boys all ran to the table, eager for Emily's cooking. She always made enough to feed an army, and it was a good thing to because these boys could eat a lot! Sam sat at one end of the table and Jared at the other, Emily had began to eat at the side in the kitchen, as she did now with Sully. They spoke in hushed voices, but they all knew that tone. Emily was having words with Sully, she was a bit concerned about how little food Sully had put on her plate, and despite Emily asking and asking, Sully refused to eat more.
"She's only trying to look out for you, you know." Embry told Sully as they sat on Sam's porch. Almost everyone had left and now they were the only ones left, as well as Paul and Jacob.
"I know, but I'm seventeen. I don't need someone telling me what to eat."
"She was worried, we all are."
"You don't need to be. I'm fine."
"That's what's got us baffled the most Sully, you're fine. Totally and completely fine!"
Sully looked at Embry, she knew they must have expected her to be a mess so soon after her mother's death, "You thought I'd be crying every other second? Needing you there to hold my hand, is that it?"
"Sully, we're trying to help."
"I don't need your help." Sully stood, glaring down at Embry. "I don't need help at all."
"You're being silly, it's like you don't care.."
"Don't you dare! You stupid little prick!" Sully shouted, she didn't care if she'd caught the attentions of Sam, Emily, Paul and Jacob. She didn't care if she was making a scene. Screw him for thinking that! Screw them all! " How dare you!? You think I don't care?! You arse! Of course I fucking care! She's my mum! I love her and now she's gone!"
"You're not acting like you care!" Embry stood as well, towering over her.
"Everyone mourns differently Em! Of course I care! Of course I' upset! But crying isn't going to bring her back! I cried at the funeral, I cried when she died! I cried when I found out she had cancer! i cried through the treatments! I've been crying non stop for over a year now Embry! But she is gone now! Fuck you if you think I don't care about her! I'm sick of crying! I'm sick of looking weak! She is gone! I can't shed any more tears!"
"Wow...Sully...I...I..didn't know you could be so heartless."
Sully saw red and slapped Embry hard, his head turned but it looked like it was more from the shock of her slapping him rather then the slap itself, but it definitely hurt Sully. Holy fuck, it felt like she'd punched a brick wall!
"Don't! I swear to God! I'll kill you! How fucking dare you!"
Emily and the boys chose to intervene now, Sam had thought they would be able to sort things out on their own, but apparently now. Now as they reached the two, Jake could see the shock wearing off his friend who was now starting to shake. Jake grabbed Embry by the arm and started to pull him away, but Embry didn't want to go anywhere. Emily had reached Sully, and was trying to coax her back into the house. Neither were having any of it, they were staying right here. Sam stood in between them, trying to calm them both down. Paul was kind of impressed by her temper, in all honesty and whilst he wanted to stay out of it and see how far she would go, he was angry as hell at Embry for saying those things to her, but also because Embry was shaking in anger, threatening to phase at any second, and no one knew better then Paul just how hard it was not to phase when you were pissed off. It was a relief to Jake and Sam when they heard Tiffany's car pull up, but neither Embry or Sully backed down, and as Sully walked to them, she saw the tension and wondered, whilst slightly uneasy, what had happened between the two. Emily went to Tiffany and explain what had happened and Tiffany wasn't sure whether she should be angry or upset, but she knew they weren't going to back down and putting them both in the car would only ask for trouble. Sully, in her little mood, really wanted to kick things up a notch and piss Embry off even more; so she turned to Paul.
"You still wanna hang out?"
Paul was totally taken away by this. He guessed she was doing it to get back at Embry but who cared, he was taking this. "Sure."
Sully turned to Tiffany, "Are you okay with that?"
"Sure Honey."
There you are! Firstly, sorry this took so long, I've had so many things to do so I haven't had long enough to do this all in one go. Secondly, as mentioned, it didn't save properly so I had to re do it all again and couldn't remember what I put so this is very different to how it was meant to be.
So what do you all think, review and fave and follow! Thanks guys.
